I'm not trying to get you to join my position at all. That's not possible by argument. I'm trying to make the point that one does not have to be stupid to believe in God. Also making the point that Science is not infallable, much of what is theorized is not proven (or provable) fact, and many of the conclusions reached are the result of the individual's own interpretation of the world around them. We're all trying to make sense of life, I just have a different view than you.

In my opinion, it's mostly a psychological thing. You can see leading scientists profess to a faith that involves scientific absurdities but still do perfectly fine science in their work. So I wouldn't say that religious people are stupid. However, there are powerful psychological factors affecting what people belive, like how a kid is raised, community factors, etc. So while I wouldn't call religious people stupid, I won't hesitate to call the belief, or the doctrine itself illogical and/or, stupid.
Feel free to disagree of course.
